Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Lagness
Old sand mastic cracks, crumbles and falls out over time and gaps open up round the frame. We rake it out and renew it so the surround looks right again. We work on stone surrounds, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are mastic dropping out of the joint and gaps where the frame meets the masonry.
Somewhere as small as Lagness, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Windows and doors in Lagness
Lagness is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Goodwood House (about 4.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lagness as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Rose Green Junior School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Bognor Regis station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work

Different surfaces, different methods
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. Renewing the mastic closes it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Signs you need sand mastic in Lagness
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. The movement cracks the mastic over time.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Lagness, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
